How about adding this to the description of acpi_dev_state_low_power():

-----------8<--------------
 * This function is intended to be used by drivers to tell whether the device
 * is in low power state (D1--D3cold) in driver's probe or remove function. See
 * Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/low-power-probe.rst for more information.
